Air Force Orchestra at the Air and Space Museum
Yes, this is live, no backing tracks, mime, lip sync, over-dubs, etc., as is all of the music I post here.
Go to 1:20 to see a good close shot of the violin's wireless mikes. Most instruments were close-miked, wirelessly, but there were some far-miked wired mikes to pickup probably the horns, and for general ambience.
The production quality is so good that a review of comments on last year’s YouTube video reveals some doubters in the Internet audience remarking that recording such a quality video live is impossible.
Not only did the production crew keep the recording real, it recorded the audio with more than 44 wireless microphones, to say nothing of those that were wired, and recorded everything onto 64 separate audio tracks allowing an audio engineer to mix the sound to best enhance the audiences’ experience.
